New Opportunities for Software Vendors
Romesh Wadhwani offers an interesting analysis of the state of the software industry, noting:
"There are exciting new developments - in technology and business practices - that will lead to significant new market opportunities in the next few years. Here are ten trends which will lead to those possibilities.
1) Consolidate or Be Consolidated...
2) "New" ERP is a Huge Opportunity...
3)The Sun Sets on "Packaged" Apps...
4) Software Predicts the Future...
5) Services Become "The Dog", Not the "Tail"...
6) Software Providers and SIs Begin to Look Similar...
7) The Coming Grid...
8) The Emergence of a "Star Alliance"...
9) The Return of the "Sugar Daddys"...
10) Reinvent or Relocate...
In conclusion, I'd like to predict the ten biggest software companies of 2010. I see Oracle, SAP and Microsoft on the list. The remainder will be seven of today's software vendors who take advantage of the above opportunities to transform their business models and realize transformations in revenue and profitability."
